Most-quoted passages

These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 71 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

5 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“[b]ecause deportable alien sta- tus is an inherent element of the crimes to which the guideline applies, this factor was clearly `taken into consideration by the Sentencing Commission in formulating the guideline[ ]' (18 U.S.C. S 3553(b)) and was accounted for in the offense levels it established.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“[a]U of the[ ] crimes [to which section 2L1.2 applies] may be committed only by aliens, and most, if not all, of those aliens are deportable. See 8 U.S.C. § 1251 (a)(1)(B) (an alien is deportable if, inter alia, the alien is in the United States in violation of the immigrations laws).”
